Not Without Prejudice
HE trouble with listening to a discussion on a subject close to your heart is that you tend to evaluate its worth in terms of ends rather than means. Since the Wednesday discussion of Women Drivers (April 20) reached
the conclusion that (a) Women are as good drivers as men, or (b) if they aren’t, it’s their husband’s fault for not letting them have the car often enough, I should rank it as an excellent discussion, Mrs. Patricia-Guest scored an out+ standing success as Joan of Arc, her examiners being played (with more gumption than grace) by Messrs, Dickell, Gibson and Gilbert. I have seldom heard a more flagrant example of sex-loyalty than the chairman’s opening remark, addressed to the traffic-officer on the panel, "You must have had some queer experiences with women drivers. Wouldn’t you like to tell us about them?" and his subsequent attempt to head off the lady when she volunteered to tell some of her queer experiences with men drivers, Or am I perhaps being
prejudiced? -a
